Threats and Attacks

CJFE celebrates the news that Alexander Sodiqov, University of Toronto PhD student and Tajik blogger, has returned to Canada. He was arrested in Khorog on June 16 and imprisoned for 36 days on charges of espionage and treason.

To mark his 200th day in prison, Mohamed Fahmy released this statement through his family. Fahmy says that his 200 days of unjust confinement have left him and his colleagues, Peter Greste and Baher Mohamed, "more determined than ever to fight this war against freedom of speech".
